Panda Keyring - Panda Portachiavi.

Felt , felt, I love felt! In my point of view it is the easiest fabric to craft with.
Here is another felt keyring I just finished.
This time it's a Panda.
To be honest I made this pattern for an applique but then I thought it would look really cute as a keyring.
Below you can see a resized version of the pattern.
To download the original pattern,click here.

To make this you will need:
Black and white felt.
Black and white embroidery thread.
Batting for stuffing.
Glue.
A keyring or chain.

Print thepatternpage. Cut out the pieces .
First glue the eyes and nose pieces on the FRONT piece. With white thread embroider the eyes.
Position the piece marked A over the Front piece as shown in the pattern page and with black embroidery thread stitch around the arm , leg and shoulder part in blanket stitches.
Place the FRONT piece over the BACK piece and use a pin to keep it in place, next blanket stitch all around the Panda with black embroidery thread. Leave a space for stuffing and then close with blanket stitches.
Blanket stitch the ear in place.
Sew the keyring on the back just behind the ears.
